Phys. Rev. B 79, 104411 (2009) [6 pages]Magnetization plateau of the classical Ising model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice: A tensor renormalization-group approachReceived 1 December 2008; revised 10 February 2009; published 11 March 2009 We study the magnetization for the classical antiferromagnetic Ising model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice using the tensor renormalization-group approach. With this method, one can probe large spin systems with little finite-size effect. For a range of temperature and coupling constant, a single magnetization plateau at one third of the saturation value is found. We investigate the dependence of the plateau width on temperature and on the strength of magnetic frustration. Furthermore, the spin configuration of the plateau state at zero temperature is determined. © 2009 The American Physical Society URL:
